Chapter 169

Ignoring the numbness in their limbs, the two girls picked up a discarded empty beer bottle off the floor and tiptoed ahead cautiously. Ava took the lead, Louise right behind her. Each held a rope and a bottle, and without hesitation, they lunged forward in sync. "Crack!" With a swift motion, Ava's hands snapped together, and the man's head jerked violently to the side in an instant. Louise moved fast, quickly tying the guy up with the rope. To make sure he didn't suddenly wake up, she grabbed a random jacket nearby and shoved the sleeve into his mouth. Only then did she let out a silent breath of relief. Looking at the limp angle of the man's neck, Louise cringed with a sharp inhale through her teeth. "Where'd you even learn that?" She really thought Ava was gonna use the bottle to knock him out. Not just... go for the neck like that. Ava proudly tilted her chin. "Saw it on TV. Always wanted to see if it worked." Louise gave her a thumbs-up. "Respect." The abandoned factory was huge.
